[Dru]

Well I have to get some use out of the Mountaineering Calendar I won at ice Fest. Also memory is vanishing with old age and I would foget half of what i climbed if'n i didnt write stuff down.

Dru - Believe it or not in a few years that diary will be fun to look at. I use to have one and came across it a while ago and had a blast reliving the past and wondering how I had so much time to climb.

 

I have the bouldering guide Ill let you know if no one else does first.

 

Are those V grades McKlane or Select guide?

I think you mean Michaux or Select. Actually I have done more bouldering in J Tree and Queen creek than in Squamish.

Hey old dudes! You're kiddin' right? A route resume? Actually I do see value in something like that, in an "armchair" sort of way. I can find da info. for ya. There's some tight shizz around there. My X-C coach wrote the perfunctory Leavenworth Bouldering Guide. Hang on...

[Dru]

On Monday, after leading Meat Grinder, while the hordes of other Canadians around were lining up to TR it, I grabbed the crashmapazad and did a few boulder problems down by the road side below Alfalfabet Rox.

 

The boulder in question is about 8 feet high with a slab on the upstream side and a steeper face on the side facing Alfalfabet Rox. I did an easy slab problem on the slab (v0), an easier knob problem on the arete (vo-) and a harder face on sharp little crimpy edges on the Alfabet Rox side (v1?).

 

Not writing this to chestbeat but i am trying to write down the names & grades of all routes I climb this year so if anybody out there has the L'worth Bouldering guides out there and knows if these are named problems could you please Pm or post the names? Must have complete tick list

[Dru]

not a route resume but so i can compare this yr to last yr and see if i climbed "more" or not.

[Mr._Chips]

I used to keep a detailed list with approach information and route descriptions. This can help when you look back at the time of year and see what the conditions were like. Otherwise, it is a resume. Something to say HEY look what I Done, How do you like me So Far?!

[Chepe]

Try spending more time on the rocks than behind the glass pipe. You might remember things better.

[Dru]

I had to keep up with Erik.

[Chepe]

In that case I think they are all rated 4th class

V420

Drew-

 

I think this is called the Icehouse (guide says about 10M off the road just up from Alphabet Rock). Not sure if this is the right boulder, but here's what the Potts' guide says:

 

easy slab problem on the slab (v0)- Slab not rated

an easier knob problem on the arete (vo-) two routes on the arete both given V3

a harder face on sharp little crimpy edges on the Alfabet Rox side (v1?)- book gives it a V4

 

Doesn't sound right, but that's what I got.
